<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rev1774, post: 1301436, member: 32001&quot;]This is kind of a two part question. I don&#039;t have photos as the coin is at the dealer so I will have to kind of explain my reasons for asking.</p><p><br /></p><p>First, there is a 1807 large cent that the dealer states is the comet variety. I can&#039;t say that I see the comet based on location of the die break. I did read that on some of the coins the comet isn&#039;t always visible. Are there other diagnostics that can determine if this is indeed a comet variety? It also doesn&#039;t appear to be one of the overdate coins either. So, if it isn&#039;t a comet variety or an overdate, then it comes down to the large or small fraction. I think it will go f/vf for condition but I am unsure about another piece of the puzzle...&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Did the mint always strike coins obverse top to reverse bottom?&nbsp; Flipping the coin from top to bottom like today or was there a time this was not the case.&nbsp; This 1807 is not top to bottom but flipping side to side to see both sides upright.. Hope that makes sense...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
